similar to: CentOS5 lxc guest under CentOS6 host

Hi all, I have installed a CentOS6 lxc guest under a Debian 8.x LXC host. All it is working ok but I can't change the hostname for the centos6 lxc container (it is using the same hostname from Debian host). I have modifyed HOSTNAME under /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts file, but it doesn't works. Do I need to change anything else?? Thanks.

On CentOS5 I was used to create a simple spec file where at the end I'll declare files and directories I wan't to package: --< Snip >-- %files %dir /opt/myapp %dir /opt/myapp/bin %dir /opt/myapp/etc /opt/myapp/bin/exec01 /opt/myapp/etc/myapp.conf ---- I'll copy the file in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and run "rpmbuild -bb myapp.spec". On CentOS6 rpm-build package no longer

Buf ... Solved. Problem was that /etc/pam.d/racoon doesn't exists (I found this tip on NetBSD ipsec pages). Simply I have copied /etc/pam.d/passwd to /etc/pam.d/racoon and now all works as expected. Many thanks for your help Ross. Ross S. W. Walker wrote: > > I think it might just use another one like /etc/pam.d/remote > cause I audited the package and it wasn't there.

I have an instance of VMware server 1.0.10 hosted on CentOS 5, and it runs fine, with guests of CentOS 4, CentOS5 or Win2000. I have just created a new VM and installed CentOS6 on it, which also runs fine, except that I can't build the VMware tools on it. I get compilation errors when compiling the kernel modules, due to changes in the definition of struct net_device among other things. I

Hello, it looks like the usual way to do ipsec on centos5 won't work anymore on centos6 I installed ipsec-tools but an interface type IPsec is not recognized by the kernel ifup ipsec0 Device does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. I am not planning to use the awful OpenSwan, I Want to sue the Kame implementation which was working fine on CentOS5 any hints ? thank you

Installing 64bit CentOS6 only installs x86_64 and noarch RPMS - however, I have a number of legacy 32bit apps that require a number of 32bit RPMS to be installed. Does anyone know how to get the installer to install the 32bit versions of 64bit RPMS? i.e. in the way it does for CentOS5. Thanks James Pearson

Most of my desktops are still running CentOS5, but I have installed CentOS6 on a few of them. The users on those desktops are reporting that DNS lookups are slow, and from my brief tests, that does appear to be the case. After some googling, I found a suggestion to disable IPv6, but that didn't help. So I tried to figure out where the delay occurs using strace and ltrace, but that

Hi all, I am trying to configure utf8 in mysql under centos6 to display special characters, like accents. I use this mysql instance to store plain syslog logs. I have configured this under my.cnf: [mysqld] init_connect = 'SET collation_connection = utf8_general_ci' init_connect = 'SET NAMES utf8' character-set-server = utf8 collation-server = utf8_general_ci [client]

Hello! Try to use libvirt with lxc. I use latest centos6 amd64 as a libvirt host (libvirt from xen4 repo) libvirt-daemon-1.2.15-3.el6.x86_64 In container I also use latest centos6 amd64. Container starts with /sbin/init. CentOS 6 came with upstart as default init. My problem is that I could not shutdown container correctly with libvirt. virsh -c lxc:/// shutdown test Domain test is being

Is there any chance the system-config-netboot* rpms upstream removed from CentOS6 could be provided in extras? The CentOS5 SRPM builds cleanly under CentOS6, and upstream's workaround is insufficient as it only covers diskless clients, not helpful if you need pxeos.

Hello, I just wrote instructions for building Xen 4.2 from sources on various RPM-based Linux distributions. The guide is available here: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.2_Build_From_Source_On_RHEL_CentOS_Fedora I was able to successfully build Xen 4.2.0-rc2 on the following Linux distros: - CentOS 5.8 x64 - CentOS 6.3 x64 - Fedora 17 x64 RHEL5/CentOS5 requires some hackery to get

HTTPD on some of my CentOS5 systems is configured to run as user "nobody". Also, it needs access to some exported file systems. CentOS5 uses NFS3 so I changed the ownership of the files on the storage server to "nobody" to give httpd full permissions. Now I want to rebuild these systems with CentOS6 and httpd running as user "apache". The problem is how to give

In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options. Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores anything put into custom.conf as far

Hi. I have a old server running our PDC(NT4 Style) with Centos 5+samba 3x+LDAP as backend. I want to move this setup to Centos 6. Some one running this layout under Centos6 without issue? I don't want to right now to work with AD style yet, no time for testing. Thanks guys. -- LIving the dream...

Hi, I am trying to implement something like an "LXC on CentOS 7 HowTo" for internal use. (Might as well get public afterwards.) I am following the HowTo for CentOS 6 (https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/LXC-on-CentOS6). So, here's what I did so far (Steps 1-6 can easily be omitted, but I am trying to be complete.) 1.) Disable delta RPM's in /etc/yum.conf 2.) Remove LibreOffice

Hi. I am trying to use Mock to rebuild a .src.rpm file I have made for PHP 5.3.8 (for Centos6) I have managed to install deps fine with mock. When I try to rebuild the package though I get.

Dear CentOS, I have recently upgraded several servers from CentOS4 to CentOS5 and I am noticing a strange change to the stat() call. I have written a very small program to test and show the behavior. I am calling stat() against a file which is exported from my NAS and mounted with 32k read/write sizes. [dougalb at centos4 tmp]$ cat my_stat.c #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h>

I just realised that pam_access no longer works under CentOS6 - or it works differently from CentOS5. Under CentOS5, I used this configuration to restrict access to root only: # cat /etc/security/access.conf + : root : ALL - : ALL : ALL # cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac ... account required pam_access.so account required pam_unix.so account sufficient pam_localuser.so

Hi all, I have a problem using named with different CentOS5 servers (2 servers): all they are really slow to resolv any internet address and most of time fails to resolv. This situation differs if I use "forwarders" servers like opendns: resolving names it is really really quickly. And I don't understand why. On the other hand I have tested three DNS servers using Windows
